A week later, and it was time for the next appointment. Jack had not had the opportunity to follow-up on the idea of asking Lily out. He'd been out of town with a client, or in meetings. Lily knew he was coming back, and had no intention of simply chasing him. The truth was, she had other plans, plans that went back to an unspoken fantasy that she'd had, and she suspected he had as well.
There had been careful planning. Why, she wasn't exactly sure, but Lily was obsessed about doing things a certain way, and nothing was going to stop her. She wasn't even going to let Jack have a say in the plans. Some of the plans had been easy.
Another 5:00 PM appointment. She'd "grudgingly" volunteered to work the later shift on that Friday, complaining all the while about how she'd been left behind the last week. It was obvious to everyone else that she didn't want to work that night – the others didn't care, as they all had dates, and all were expecting to get laid. They knew Lily wasn't seeing anyone, and the old woman probably didn't want sex anyway, or at least that's how they looked at it, at their tender age – not a one of them was thirty yet. Besides, they knew a fight was coming, and didn't want to be around for it. Lily and Dr. Williams had been at each other's throats all week, for some reason that none of them could figure out. They didn't like each other, that was no secret, but there was something else now. More intense.
Only one more week until Lily finished her six months' probation and became an NP. They were all a little proud of her, although a little jealous as well. They also liked the idea that she'd be buying rounds at the bar with her bigger salary! Everyone was looking forward to the day that Lily called Dr. Williams "Lori" without worrying about the ice queen's glare. On the other hand, Dr. Williams seemed to be finding fault with everything Lily did. It almost looked like she was looking for something, anything, that she could do to keep Lily from making it. So, while they all wanted to be there, but really, no one really wanted to be there.
The schedule was a different trick. She really felt a little bit guilty about it. She'd overbooked Dr. Williams with time consuming, non-emergency, encounters. Consultations on all kinds of things, but nothing that would hurt if the appointments were missed. She used different scheduler's names and IDs, nothing that would cause them to get in trouble. What she wanted to do was basically to cause confusion. Ideally, by the time they were trying to get everything straightened out, no one was going to notice one missing nurse and one missing patient in one seldom used exam room off a back hall.
On Friday morning, Lily packed her new medical bag, a gift from her mother in anticipation of the promotion, slipping in the new white jacket she'd be wearing over civilian clothes once she'd received her new license. Embroidered with her name and the license she wasn't quite yet legally able to wear yet, it was nicely fitted and framed her breasts and ass well. Lily figured she could stack up pretty well with "Lori" now, and had a bit of confidence in her that was anew feeling. The new stethoscope and some other "instruments" went into the bag, which went straight into her locker without anyone noticing, along with the change of clothes that everyone assumed was simply going to be for whatever Lily had planned for after-hours activities.
The afternoon was hectic, as planned. Lily was on her feet constantly, moving people around and organizing the work to get as many patients seen as possible. The patient load caused them to open several exam rooms that had been mothballed for years, including one at the end of a hall that was isolated from the rest of the office and could not be seen from the nurse's station. Making sure it was used along with the others, Lily carefully manipulated the work flow, earning the admiration (if with a little bit of frustration) of the other employees, and the ire of Dr. Williams, who was unable to get a break as every time she was done with one patient, another was ready to be seen.
The timing was critical. There were twelve patient rooms in use when Jack, the last patient for the day, was to come in, just before 5. Lily had ensured Dr. Williams was in the obscure exam room so that the patient in that room would be the first one out when Jack was ready to be seen, and was going to make sure that Dr. Williams was nowhere in sight when she roomed Jack. At about 4:45, Lily took a quick break and texted her friend Melanie. As they'd planned, Melanie, who worked in another clinic in the system, picked up an office phone, called Lily's clinic, and passed along a message that Dr. Williams was needed, stat, to deal with one of her patients at the hospital. No need to contact the hospital, the message said, but the doctor knew this patient was highly connected and just the type of person that Lori Williams would want to give particular attention.
Jack and Lily smiled at each other briefly when he walked in, as she passed by him hurrying to take care of the overload of patients. "I'll make sure I stop in to say 'hi'" she said with a wink and a smile, which she delivered around a corner so that he couldn't see how she was dressed. One of the receptionists, already changed into her club wear, and struggling to get into her coat and out the door, had no chance to escape and had to check him in. Hard for her to fault Lily, man, that nurse was working her ass off. Similarly, Janelle, the MA on duty, herself getting nervous about being late for her date, could hardly begrudge Lily the favor when she walked hurriedly by and said "room Mr. Smith in 12" and then added "go ahead, I'll take care of him and you can go." Janelle flashed Lily a "thank you" smile and went to take Jack's vitals and get him ready for his examination.
It was right then that all hell broke loose. With patients in twelve rooms, staff halfway out the door, and a doctor rushing out to see a high priority patient, it was up to Lily to make sure that all the patients made their way out the door, hopefully rescheduled to a future date. Dr. Williams glared at Lily on the way out, as if it was all her fault, and yelled over her shoulder "I'm not coming back to do paperwork tonight, close up the place."
Now eleven patients were gone, and one room, noticed by no one else, was still occupied. Lily had stuck just her head in to ask for his patience, that there had been some overbookings and that she'd be with him soon. When Dr. Williams had left, Lily quickly locked the doors and went to the locker room, changing out of her nurse whites. The new outfit was dramatically different from what she typically wore. A short tight grey skirt showcased her ass; instead of pantyhose she work sheer black stockings held up by a lacy black garter belt. Her panties were a wisp of a lace thong, with a clasp on the side that held them together so they could be taken off without affecting the garter belt. Her heels were conservative but still sexy. She pulled a black silk blouse that fit her snugly in the chest, over the black lace bra that matched the garter and thong. Over that, the new white jacket, with a pair of not-quite-necessary glasses in the pocket and the ubiquitous stethoscope around her neck.
Lily looked at herself in the mirror and was pleased; tucking a stray hair behind her ear, she went back to make her conquest.
With a knock that barely preceded her entry, Lily slid through the entrance, closing the door quickly so that Jack wouldn't notice that the rest of the clinic was clearly closed for business.
"I'm impressed," Jack said, pointing at her chest. "Oops... sorry about that," he quickly covered as both of them turned red, "I mean the new license." "Here, let me take a picture!" Pulling out his phone camera, he took a picture of her, focused in on the "NP" designation by her name.
"Thanks!" Lily answered, "it's exciting. I want to apologize for Dr. Williams. She was called to the hospital to deal with a 'very important patient.'"
"Rich, connected and male?" Jack asked with a grin.
"What I don't say can't be held against me." Lily smiled back at him, loving his gaze and the fact that he was struggling to not be noticed as he looked at her chest and legs; she caught him staring at her ass when she turned around to pick up his chart that had been put in the slot on the door. "I'm going to go ahead and take this consult for her."
"Really?"
"Yes sir, I'm a big girl now! And don't think that because we slept together years ago I'm not going to give you a very... thorough exam in preparation for that colonoscopy."
There, it was out in the open. Acknowledged, and a good way to explain the sexual tension that had clearly existed from the moment they'd laid eyes on each other. "Put this on," Lily said, handing Jack a flimsy robe that opened at the back. "I'll turn around."
"Nothing you haven't seen before," Jack shot back.
